photography by Donald M. Jones

- Prolific wildlife photographer Donald M. Jones has created an inspired collection of images capturing elk in a wide variety of habitats: lush meadows, dense spruce forests, sandy riverbanks, grassy, golden hillsides, and snow-blanketed valleys. Jones gets closer than most people ever will to these spectacular creatures and thus is able to tell the story of their survival in the Rocky Mountains.

| "Two bulls fight with an aspen tree between them. Earlier, these same two bulls had a dead tree between them when suddenly one of the bull's antlers took hold of the dead tree and pulled it out of the ground. It became stuck in the bull's antlers and he began to swing it around like a baseball bat, thoroughly baffling his opponent."
-page 94 "Evidence has shown that the volume of a bull's bugle is critical; the louder the call, the greater the distance the advertisement will travel."
